What is the “manzil” and why we should try to memorize some of them?
Re: Importance and Benefits of Manzil
Hadhrat Ubay bin Ka’b (rd) reports that he
was once with Rasulullaah (sw) when a Bedouin came and said, “O Nabi of
Allaah (sw)! I have a brother who is suffering.” “What is it that ails
him?” Rasulullaah (sw) asked. When the man explained that his brother
was affected by the Jinn, Rasulullaah (sw) told him to bring his brother
to him. (When the man came) Rasulullaah (sw) seated the man in front of
him and recited the following to secure protection for him (against the
Jinn):
Surah Al-Fatihah (chapter 1): verses 1 to 7
Surah Al-Bakarah (chapter 2): verses 1 to 5, 163, 255 to 257, and 284 to 286
Surah Al-Imran (chapter 3): verses 18, 26 and 27
Surah Al-A’araf (chapter 7): verses 54 to 56
Surah Al-Israa (chapter 17): verses 110 and 111
Surah Al-Muminoon (chapter 23): verses 115 to 118
Surah Al-Saaffaat (chapter 37): verses 1 to 11
Surah Al-Rehman (chapter 55): verses 33 to 40
Surah Al-Hashr (chapter 59): verses 21 to 24
Surah Al-Jinn (chapter 72): verses 1 to 4
Surah Al-Kaafiroon (chapter 109): verses 1 to 6
Surah Al-Ikhlas (chapter 112): verses 1 to 4
Surah Al-Falaq (chapter 113): verses 1 to 5
Surah Al-Naas (chapter 114): verses 1 to 6
(After Rasulullaah(sw) recited these before him) The man then stood
up as if he had never had any ailment whatsoever.(Ahmad, Haakim and
Tirmidhi,as quoted in Kanzul Ummaal (Vol.1 Pg.212).)
